Let out those waist bands because Monday 14 August marks the start of Afternoon Tea Week. Jam or cream first? Ahh the great Devonshire or Cornish cream tea debate…well, we suggest seeing how it’s done Bristol fashion.

From the quirky to highly traditional, grab a brew and sink your chops into some of these afternoon teas:

Central Bristol

Located in an old sugar factory, this place is used to all things sweet. A tea sommelier serves dazzlingly good infusions accompanied by beautifully towering treats like Gruyère croissant, gin and tonic sundae and homemade candy floss. For extra wow factor wash down with carefully selected gins or Champagne.

One of the top twenty-five bakeries in the UK, everything is baked throughout the day in open view. Mix and match your own afternoon tea – choose from scones, tarts, tea, sandwiches, sourdoughnuts, breads and pastries.

Fresh, home-baked, ethically and locally-sourced food and drink is the order of the day at this new café. Afterwards, take a wander round the John Wesley Chapel and Museum - it’s the oldest Methodist church in the world!
